Sympathy - Commemorations - Memorials
Sympathy
Flowers are a visual expression of love, sympathy, and respect. They are a means of lending support and sharing the burden of grief. A beautiful symbol of life, flowers lift spirits, pay respect and offer comfort for family and friends. Deliveries for funeral homes, churches and crematoriums can be organised for specific timed deliveries in Hervey Bay and all other seviceable areas.
Flowers have a spiritual significance. They are symbolic of love and sympathy, they minister to the bereaved by giving testimony of the love and understanding of fellow human beings.
Not sure what to do for a funeral service or cremation?
Blooms & Petals Florist will organise delivery to the funeral service via our courier to the funeral home taking care of the arrangements) or to the families residence. Funeral Casket, Wreaths, Open Modern Spray, Modern Pillow, Wreath of Roses, Classic Wreath, Funeral Sheaths
Send Flowers to home and/or service?
It is advisable not to send a wreath to a home. Flower bouquets, boxes and bowl arrangements are more suited. If you believe the family will receive many sympathy flowers send a boxed or bowl arrangement as they could run out of vases.
A variety of colours are sent these days, not just white, if you think the family need cheering up send bright flowers to help them feel better; sympathy flowers show your fond memories and respect.

Anzac Day | 25th April
ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. The soldiers in those forces quickly became known as ANZACs, and the pride they took in that name endures to this day.
RIMAU Commemoration | Sunday closest to 7th July
RIMAU Commemoration - Service held on 1st Sunday in July at the KRAIT Memorial in Dayman Park at Urangan. In remembrance for 23 operatives who were killed during, and after, an aborted raid on Japanese shipping in Singapore Harbour in 1944.
Korean War Veterans' Day | 27th July
In the aftermath of the Second World War (1939-1945), communities were still coming to terms with the devastation which that conflict had caused, and the millions it had killed. Yet only five years after the end of this war, another was to break out, and again Australia would commit its forces. It was the Korean War.
Vietnam Veterans' Day | 18th August
Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated on 18 August every year. The day was originally known as Long Tan Day, chosen to commemorate the men of D Company, 6RAR who fought in the battle of Long Tan in 1966. On that day, 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought a pitched battle against over 2,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops in a rubber plantation not far from the small village of Long Tan. The Australians prevailed, but only after fighting in torrential rain for four hours.
Remembrance Day | 11th November
Remembrance Day (11 November) marks the anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War (1914–18). Each year Australians observe one minute silence at 11 am on 11 November, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts.
VP Day | 15th August
VP (Victory in the Pacific) Day, also referred to as VJ (Victory over Japan) Day, is celebrated on 15 August. This date commemorates Japan’s acceptance of the Allied demand for unconditional surrender 14 August 1945. For Australians, it meant that the Second World War was finally over.
